< Micah 5 >

1 Now gather yourself together, O daughter of troops, He has laid a siege against us, They strike [the] judge of Israel on the cheek with a rod.
Ita, agsaganakayo a makigubat, dakayo a tattao ti Jerusalem. Adda pader a naipalawlaw iti siudadyo, ngem pang-urendanto ti sarukod ti pingping ti mangidadaulo ti Israel.
2 “And you, Beth-Lehem Ephratah, Little to be among the chiefs of Judah! From you He comes forth to Me—to be ruler in Israel, And His comings forth [are] of old, From the days of antiquity.”
Ngem sika, Betlehem Efrata, uray no sika ti kababassitan kadagiti puli ti Juda, maysanto kadakayo ti umay kaniak a mangituray iti Israel, a nagtaud ti kaputonanna ket idi ugma manipud iti agnanayon nga awan patinggana.
3 Therefore He gives them up until the time she who brings forth has brought forth, And the remnant of His brothers return to the sons of Israel.
Ngarud, iyawatto isuda ti Dios, agingga iti tiempo nga agpasngay ti agpaspasikal, ket agsubli dagiti dadduma a kakabsatna kadagiti tattao ti Israel.
4 And He has stood and delighted in the strength of YHWH, In the excellence of the Name of His God YHWH, And they have remained, For now He is great to the ends of the earth.
Agtakderto isuna ken ipastorna iti arbanna iti bileg ni Yahweh, iti natan-ok a nagan ni Yahweh a Diosna. Agtalinaeddanto, ta agbalinto isuna a natan-ok agingga iti pungto ti daga.
5 And this [One] has been peace. Asshur, when he comes into our land, And when he treads in our palaces, We have raised against him seven shepherds, And eight anointed of man.
Isunanto ti kappiatayo. Inton umay dagiti Assiriano iti dagatayo, inton lumasatda kadagiti sarikedkedtayo, isabattayo kadakuada dagiti pito nga agpaspastor ken walo a mangidada-ulo kadagiti lallaki.
6 And they have afflicted the land of Asshur with the sword, And the land of Nimrod at its openings, And He has delivered from Asshur when he comes into our land, And when he treads in our borders.
Agturayto dagitoy a lallaki ti daga iti Asiria babaen iti kampilan, ken ti daga ni Nimrod babaen iti kampilan kadagiti imada. Isalakannatayonto manipud kadagiti Asirriano, inton umayda iti dagatayo, inton agmartsada nga umuneg kadagiti beddengtayo.
7 And the remnant of Jacob has been in the midst of many peoples, As dew from YHWH—as showers on the herb, That does not wait for man, nor stays for the sons of men.
Maitiponto dagiti tidda ni Jacob kadagiti adu a bunggoy ti tattao, a kasla linnaaw nga aggapu ken Yahweh, a kasla arbis iti karuutan, a saanda nga aguray ti tao, saan a kadagiti tattao.
8 Indeed, the remnant of Jacob has been among nations, In the midst of many peoples, As a lion among beasts of a forest, As a young lion among ranks of a flock, Which if it has passed through, Has both trodden down and has torn, And there is no deliverer.
Maitiponto kadagiti nasion dagiti tidda ni Jacob, maitipondanto kadagiti adu a tattao, a kas iti leon a naitipon kadagiti ayup iti kabakiran, a kasla iti ubing a leon a naitipon kadagiti arban ti karnero. Ket inton maitiponda kadakuada, badde-baddeknanto ida ken rangrangkayennanto ida, ket awanto ti siasinoman a mangispal kadakuada.
9 High is your hand above your adversaries, And all your enemies are cut off.
Maitag-ayto ti imam a mangsuppiat kadagiti kabusormo, ket daytanto ti mangdadael kadakuada.
10 “And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH, “I have cut off your horses from your midst, And I have destroyed your chariots,
“Ket mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw,” kuna ni Yahweh, “a parmekekto dagiti kabaliom ken rakrakekto dagiti karwahem.
11 And I have cut off the cities of your land, And I have thrown down all your fortresses,
Parmekekto dagiti siudad iti dagam ken rebbaekto dagiti amin a sarikedkedmo.
12 And have cut off sorcerers out of your hand, And observers of clouds—you have none.
Dadaelekto ti panangkulkulam iti imam, ket awanton a pulos iti aniaman a mammadles.
13 And I have cut off your carved images, And your standing-pillars out of your midst, And you do not bow yourself anymore To the work of your hands.
Dadaelekto dagiti kinitikitan a ladawam ken dagiti adigim a bato. Saanmonton a dayawen dagiti aramid dagiti imam.
14 And I have plucked up your Asherim out of your midst, And I have destroyed your enemies.
Parutekto dagiti imahe ni Asera iti tengngayo, ken dadaelekto dagiti siudadyo.
15 And I have done vengeance in anger and in fury, With the nations who have not listened!”
Iti nakaro nga unget ken pungtotko, balsekto dagiti nasion a saan a dimngeg.”
